[Wichita-SCCA] CHANGES!

[Robert]

Oh boy, where to start.

Correct, Greg's post about the changes to the list configuration was not
about promoting his regions event.  My post was really in response to
Bruce's question about why Greg uses the list.  I do find it bad form when
an outside neighoring region promotes an event on the list that conflicts
with our regions events.  And we've had that conversation before.

My bad.
